Strong Waist

After arriving in Russia, the Chinese team abandoned all activities other than training, and their daily movements were extremely regular, either resting in the hotel or training at the training base.

Since there is still some time before the first game, they have enough time to practice tactical training.

The team's running-in situation is also gradually showing results.

The first was Chen Xiang's retreat to play the ball. Since he could not reach the standard rhythm, Chen Man and Le Kai took the initiative to slow down their rhythm to cooperate with the opponent.

Although the rhythm has dropped a bit, and we cannot rely on sudden rhythm changes to carry out surprise attacks, the advantage is stability.

After completing this transformation, Chen Xiang's performance became stable and he was no longer so panicked when handling the ball.

So it has to be a question of rhythm. After all, for young players such as Chen Xiang who are accustomed to playing at a slow pace, suddenly asking them to increase the pace will only make them confused.

Ouyang Fei's recent performance is very good. I don't know if it is because the World Cup is approaching, but his desire to perform is extremely strong.

The performance in the midfield is no longer satisfied after the transfer is completed, but will include some technical actions as appropriate, and sometimes even choose to dribble independently.

On one occasion, Ouyang Fei passed Lucai with a wonderful tail flick.

Although it was only once, it was enough to make the scene full of howling ghosts and wolves.

Ouyang Fei is also extremely satisfied with his condition, and with continuous training, his confidence is gradually improving.

Especially after the tacit understanding with Lucai and Chen Man improved, Ouyang Fei was able to join the two-person offensive system and take on a promoting role.

This harvest has to be said to be a surprise.

In addition, Di Lei also became more active in fighting in the midfield. Perhaps because he knew that his fighting and awareness could not keep up with those top players, Di Lei chose a stupid way, which was to increase his running.

Although after a game, my legs are shaking and my mouth is blue, at least it can be effective.

Di Lei's performance was also recognized by Lippi. Although he was not the midfielder partner Lippi had imagined, Di Lei still completed the task, and this was enough.

The start of the World Cup is approaching day by day, and the football atmosphere in Russia is becoming more intense.

In the capital of Russia, Moscow.

Thousands of fans from all over the world flock to the city.

A giant black and white football balloon floated in the sky.

The streets and various shops are also filled with football elements.

Even major stadiums in Russia are packed with fans from all over the world, forming temporary teams to compete.

The official game has not yet started, but the small game spontaneously organized by the fans has started first.

Needless to say, the overall atmosphere of the World Cup was lively.

Major cities in Russia have seen an influx of fans, especially those used as World Cup venues.

For example, Nizhny Novgorod has been filled with Chinese and Swedish fans.

But in terms of numbers, the number of Chinese fans is much larger.

Due to the proximity, the number of fans on this World Cup expedition is far greater than before.

According to statistics, nearly 300,000 Chinese fans flocked to Nizhny Novgorod.

This is based on the number of fans after ticket statistics, and there are countless fans who have not bought tickets.

The entire Nizhny Novgorod is marked in Chinese on various transportation hubs and station signs to facilitate the movement of Chinese fans.

However, due to too many people settling in, Nizhny Novgorod can no longer host Chinese and Swedish fans. For this reason, they can only place some fans in the next city and pick them up on match days.

But even so, the huge number of people still makes the city seem a bit unsustainable.

After all, the population of Nizhny Novgorod is about 220,000, and the influx of Chinese fans for this World Cup alone is more than 300,000, and there are even Swedish expedition fans.

Under this situation, the city is already in a state of saturation, even bursting.

The streets that used to be quiet were now crowded with people, and all the streets in the city seemed to be packed with people.

Everywhere you go there is a lively scene.

China’s ‘lion dance’ once again amazed the world.

This performance that debuted around the world at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and set off a frenzy in Rio de Janeiro has once again appeared on the streets of Russia.

Accompanied by the strong sound of fou beating and the beating of drums, three lions rolled forward in the street, flanked by a large number of Chinese fans. This unique act of bombing the streets once again made China the news in Russia. Focus.

Not only China, hula dance from North America, Ghanaian dance from Africa, Viking war cry from Northern Europe, Samba dance from South America, etc. have all become a beautiful sight on the streets of Russia.

All these together form one of the gorgeous elements of the World Cup.

"This is Novgorod, a city in northwest Russia. At 3 p.m. Moscow time, a large number of Chinese fans have gathered in the central square area of ​​the city. They come from all over the world, and the purpose of their trip is to support Chinese players. Let’s cheer!”

"With only two days left before the start of the World Cup, the Chinese team will compete with Sweden from Northern Europe in the first round of the 2018 Russia World Cup group stage at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on June 18!"

“The Chinese team is in Group F, which consists of the defending World Cup champion Germany, the Swedish team from Northern Europe, Mexico from North America, and the Chinese team. After three rounds of group matches, the two teams with the highest points finally The team will enter the knockout round of the World Cup! It can be said that any game is extremely critical for the Chinese team!”

"We also believe that with the enthusiastic cheering of the fans, the Chinese players will perform even better!"

"This is CCTV reporting for you from the front!"

In the hotel, Chen Man held his mobile phone, used the domestic Internet and watched domestic TV stations.

Although there was a TV in the hotel, he couldn't understand a word of these Russian TV stations.

Looking at the scene of the entire city through the CCTV footage, Chen Man said with emotion: "It's so lively!"

"There are a lot of people coming to this World Cup!"

Wang Yi also came over to take a look and said.

"Russia is very close to our country, which has ignited the enthusiasm of more fans. What's more, our performance in the last World Cup was also good, so our expectations for this World Cup are even greater!" Lucai grinned; "Is there any Feeling pressure?"

"Just do the pressure and it's over!" Liu Kairui chuckled, "I'm already starting to get excited."

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Don't get excited too early. If you can't sleep and adjust, you will need a substitute!"

"It doesn't matter, I can adjust it!" Liu Kairui waved his hand.

Athletes need to pay attention to sleep, and he has experience in how to adjust sleep on the eve of a competition. He will not be unable to sleep due to excessive excitement.

"By the way, the opening match is the day after tomorrow. Russia versus Saudi Arabia. Who do you think can win?"

"Russia!" X3.

Lucai and the other three said in unison.

Chen Man was surprised and said, "Holy crap? Are you so dismissive of our Asian team?"

Wang Yi smiled and said; "Although they are both Asian teams, compared to Russia, Saudi Arabia does have a strength gap."

Lucky; "Many of their players are from local giants in Moscow, and there are also some overseas players. These people all play in the Champions League, and their abilities are much better."

Liu Kairui said bluntly: "Saudi Arabia was the only one to win the first victory with the host. If we didn't have Lucky here, I guess we would also have entered the role of rookies positioned by the organizer."

Chen Mandi mumbled, "I feel like we are not weak!"

"There are no weak teams in the World Cup!" Le Kai said angrily; "They are all screened out from all continents. Even weak is relative. Our strength is not bad in Asia, but facing European and South American teams We were much more passive when we were in the team. Don’t forget how tired we were in the two warm-up games before!”

Recalling the previous two warm-up matches against Spain and Croatia, Chen Man couldn't help but grin.

Those two games were very tiring.

This kind of tiredness is not only on the physical level, but also on the psychological level.

So, the gap is still huge.
